Hiya,
We bought some wooden fence posts, met posts and some postfix mix to erect a fence. We followed the met post and postfix instructions and it hasn't worked. The met posts are the ones where the metal attaches to the wooden pole and then has as much metal again that goes into the concrete - sinking only the bottom half into the concrete. The postfix was a quick dry mix of 20 mins setting time. We did the posts and concreting yesterday and left it overnight.
When trying to attach the fence panels today the posts weren't solid in the ground and the concrete you can break apart with your hands it's so soft.
What's gone wrong? Has the mix not set as it rained tonnes last night?
Is it a crap mix? If so, what would be a better mix to use?
Any advice would be fantastic!
